Meet the Artist

Hello! My name is Kate and I am the artist behind Kate Letters Lots. I am a university student and lettering and illustration artist based in Calgary (Mohkinstis), Alberta. I specialize in bold colours, beautiful words, and all things niche and nerdy. I am a multidisciplinary artist who loves digital and traditional art alike. I practice mostly with digital art, gouache, and Lino cutting, but I am always finding new mediums to love. I have a passion for women’s rights and history and LGBTQ+ rights and history, and much of my work is inspired by these areas, especially having to do with literature and poetry.

My work has been featured in Applied Arts Magazine, the Woman of Type Book, The International Women’s Day x Typism collaboration, and in the Slanted Magazine Yearbook of Lettering. When I'm not drawing or studying, you can find me reading, catching up on my favourite shows, and spending time with my three spunky terrier mixes Bailey, Luna, and Scout.
